Have a 22 musso ultimate lux xlv here in Australia,great truck 40,000 ks it has everything.only paid 46k aust, bigger than ranger,hilux , which i have owned and better,thank you SsangYong...
Awsome thanks for sharing with us! It’s great to hear from real world owners 🤗
I was one of the first person who bought Rexton in 2020 in my area and nobody believed in this car. But I took them between rexton and volvo xc90. I was more than happy and after 2 years upgraded to 2022 version. This car is great, quiet, enough power. and also people don't know but turning diameter is better than top brand cars. Of course there is some things to improve like plastic imitating aluminium inside but for the price you will not get anything better. When I had 2020 version I sent message to ssangyong dealer that if they want to sell more rextons the brand needs to change interior like desktop panel and screen, and there you go. New version Rexton and Musso have it. I can see a lots of these cars around the area now. Great video man
I have had my Musso for three years now and it is amazing, what a machine. Everywhere I go people constantly ask about it and how good it looks. Having owned the Ford and Nissan variants this is way ahead of them both and I will buy another. The problem I think is one of vehicle snobbery with so many people, but once they try it, there is no denying it is by far the best, both on and off road, in my opinion.
In Australia it's 7 year warranty and unlimited KM!
Ah well that’s better then! Not sure why they changed it in UK! Thanks for sharing
My Musso 18 plate have great mpg(best was 35mpg).Great trucks.And not to mention about 7 years of warranty
Awsome thanks so much for sharing and commenting 🤗
i have 22 musso. sawed off lower part of the front bumper for Approach angle (who forced this bumper on this truck?) and put 2.5 inch lift and 32 inch MTs. 16 inch rims can be fitted on this 2+ton machine. and the braking is great. the short bed version of musso is ... nice. you will break the sh** out of rear bumper since this is a truck after al... it comes with G80 locker on rear. 202HP engine feels really smooth and VERY quiet for diesel engine of that size. it have One problem. it needs after market recovery points front and rear for offroad usage. overall, i have no problem with this truck. it will get you almost anywhere with some winching and stuff. and the price is Just Right. Highly recommend. (I got factory LED Rear lights and changed turn signals to LED bulbs too. it looks nice)
OH, and this can actually fit 5 adult men.
Brilliant comment thank you, it’s Great to hear from real world owners and their experiences with this truck. Thanks for sharing with us! We loved it and just wanted to show off how good it is!
It makes people think for sure when they get in and have a go. Thanks for chatting with us 🤗
@@CarChatTV 👍👍
Love mine great rig, 30,000kms in 5 months, have driven across Australia 2 times in it, has not missed a beat, just wish ssangyong would stock a lot more spares for people. Buy one if you are the market for a “cheap” Ute, I would buy another in a heart beat
Awsome thank you for sharing your experience and leaving us a comment! Much appreciated 🤗
ssangyong perfect car
Awsome glad you like it 🤗
I purchased the Saracen plus in August. for the money, i think it is a fantastic piece of kit. maybe it doesn't have the name, but it has everything else and more.
On a 180 mile journey, on predominately motorway, I also achieved 41 mpg travelling at 56/ 60 mph.
Yes Philip! Exactly, well said. We were really impressed with it and it exceeded our expectations! Thanks for sharing and for the comment 🤗
No problem,it's worth promoting. I have also just added my MPG from yesterday's journey from Peterborough to Dover😊
SSangYong is currently K.G.M. (K.G. Mobility, an off-road and military vehicle specialized brand) since 2023.
Musso menas the Rhino in Korean
bought my Musso ( base version, swb) for 38.5k six months ago here in Australia. this is my second ssangyong. still have the actyon.
Awsome sounds like you love it, appreciate you sharing with us and chatting 🤗
GERTHY MONSTER 🤣 THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID😂 LOVE YOU OLLIE!! YOU WON OLLIE 👏👏👏👏
It’s big isn’t it lol. Aww thanks for watching Lauren. Really appreciate it 🤗
Had my 72 plate just over a year now. Awesome truck for the money. 30ish MPG is about right, have seen it up into mid / late 30's on long motorway runs at sensible speeds. Just need to fix the rebooting head unit and I'll be even happier with it.
Someone needs to do a cheap ute showdown comparison between the SsangYong, GWM and LDV please!
You quoted GBP39500 which exchanges to about AUD $75,600 in Australia. To buy the same Musso in Australia would be about AUD $ 48,000 or GBP25,000
Thanks for the comment Andi and sharing! That’s crazy £25k what a bargain. Our UK ssangyong website states £26k excluding VAT for base model.
£33k for this sarcacen ex vat (vat would be £6.5k) sounds like Australia have the better prices then! Thanks for chatting with us 🤗
@@CarChatTVmakes sense, less transport distance
Have had one for 1.5 years now, absolutely brilliant. Hopefully will replace this one with my24 soon, not going to pay extra $25k for nothing to hiluxs and amaroks
Awsome thank you for sharing your experience and leaving us a comment! Much appreciated 🤗
I have a 2018 Musso, now on 108000 mls absolutely love it and no issues
Awsome thanks for sharing. We loved the truck and it is so capable! 💪🏽
I thouorly enjoyed this episode. I'll definately will be purchasing one; I may go for the Sacean Plius.
Brilliant pickup truck ,great car like drive to ! I have a rexton same engine and I can get easily 45mpg on motor way cruising ! Marvelous 👍
Great enthusiastic review!! I just bought in OZ the long wheel base ultimate after a short test drive. Love it and wonder why people here still pay $25 k or more for popular badges?? Better resale yes, but I’d rather save now than 7years down the track. Love the ending ! That tug of war was a surprise… Thor needs to now go buy a Musso. When’s the rematch with the big ford ?
Thx again.
Nathan, I have to say I loved reading this message. You sound like our perfect audience, really glad you liked our review so appreciate the positive vibes. It’s so much of trick for the money isn’t it, that’s what we were trying to show with this vid. The tug of war was brill the look of thors face was priceless. Off camera he was saying are you sure you want to do this as he really thought his defender was going to wipe the floor with the Musso 😂 we are arranging some more filming this year with Thor so stay tuned. And thanks for being cool and writing us a nice comment 🤗
Hey Nathan, have you experienced any of the vibrating once travelling at 80kph or greater? I am thinking about buying one but this seems to be the main problem I am reading
@@andrewyeah3143the vibration thing is all BS..just started by a bunch of wankers
@@andrewyeah3143Hi mate - apologies for the late reply as I didn’t see this! None at at speed at all, had initially a power steering vibration at low speed ( heavy steering ) so I popped the hood and took the cap off the power steering pump and turned the wheel lock to lock and it never happed again. Told the dealer and they said come in immediately so and went over it and didn’t miss behave for them so they said it was probably air and I have purged it out of the lines. No car is perfect but these seem to be a great unit. All brands have some issues but for me it was a case of this is what I can afford and I actually like the thing the more I drive it. Hope this helps if you haven’t purchased one yet?
@@nathank6629 cheers thanks Nathan. No I have not purchased yet but I am thinking I will go with a new musso. Same as you, the price is what is appealing to me as I am not keen to spend 70k+ on a truck
sprinter 4 X4 the best offroader ever had? really, wow fascinating to hear actually
Needed a Td5👍
You think that would of done the Musso? Thanks for the comment 🤗
thought the defender would win that
I know right. So did he. He was soo shocked lol
I've just got the plus and I'm over the moon with it
Thanks for the comment 🤗 Awsome great choice, thanks for sharing with us 👍🏽
Have they sorted out the vibration issues yet
The Australian Facebook Owners group would suggest not. Indeed, many Musso owners complained they got minimal dealer support and even less from Ssangyong Australia and that the 7 year warranty has little worth with warranty issues such as vibrations at speed not being addressed. Some owners complained that Ssangyong Australia refused to communicate with them.
@@andiharper4498ranger or Hilux owner speaking..
It would be interesting to hear from any UK owners to see if they have had the experiences with the vibration issues and what their dealership experience has been like. Thanks for chatting.
Vibration issues are often caused by loosen vacuum hoses for 4WD 2WD mode change.
In details,
Musso's common issue is the transition from 4WD to 2WD, which can lead to vibration problems.
This transition can be affected by vacuum hoses fit up, which can result in a loss of pressure and the failure to release the front locker hub. (If lock release to 2WD normally, Front wheels disconnect with front axles and front diff. It can be free to rotate when driving and never causing any vibration.
But if lockup is still in, and not released freely, In this case, when we drive on, front wheel makes automatically rotating with axles and front diff gears running struggly without any drive train's power.
If you have same experience like that, you have to checks in two areas: the connection of the vacuum hoses from the [ engine bay ] vacuum ports to each [ front wheel's locker hubs ] connection points.
Each front hub has two vacuum lines(In/Out), and if they are not properly fits on, it can cause the system to remain permanently locked in 4WD, even when we hoping 2WD mode.
This can result in vibration when cruising at around 80km/h, stemming from the drive system of the front axle to the front differential. The rotating weight mass of the front drive system can lead to rumbling vibrations while driving.
This is the main reason for the vibration issues experienced when driving the Mussos.
I hope this helps!
This Korean mechanic solved vibration problem. You can figure out which part to check up visually.

Will petrol station cover the costs?
Just purchase a litre of F10 fuel cleaner and the water will be dissolved and burnt, used and sold the product for 20 years awesome stuff.
FYI, Musso means rhinoceros in Korean.
Yes it does. And ssangyong means double dragon. So it’s the double dragon rhino. So cool right! 👌🏽🔥
@@CarChatTV Yes mate! I also believe that Ssangyong has romanised its name using a double S, rather than a single S in order to typify the twin drags on purpose.
